Detail 01
Custom light gauge
Sits between extra light and light. Easier to fret and bend than a light set, with more body than extra light.

D'AddarioEJ2610-P Custom Light Acoustic Guitar Strings 10-Pack
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A ten-set carton of custom light acoustic strings. For players who restring often enough that buying single packs stops making sense.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Gigging players changing strings every few weeks
- Teachers or shops restringing several guitars
- Anyone who has settled on custom light gauge
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players still testing gauges — buy one set first
- Anyone who restrings once or twice a year
- Electric, classical or nylon-string players
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
.052 low E
A slim wound bottom string. Keeps the bass tight rather than boomy and reduces pull on the guitar top.
Detail 03
225.2 lb total tension
Combined pull of all six strings. Moderate for an acoustic, so most guitars take the change without fuss.
Detail 04
Ten sets in one box
Roughly seven and a half dollars per set, well under the price of buying packs one at a time.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Strings only — no winder, cutters or peg puller included
- 02Coming off a heavier gauge, expect to adjust relief and action
- 03Keep unopened packs sealed and dry; loose strings corrode faster
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How many sets do I get?
Ten complete six-string sets in one carton.
02What does custom light mean?
A gauge between extra light and light. Lower tension than a light set, so fretting and bending take less effort, but the strings still drive the top.
03Will this work on my 12-string?
No. These are six-string acoustic sets. A 12-string needs its own set with the octave and unison pairs.
04Do I need to change my setup?
If you already play custom light, no. Moving from a heavier or lighter gauge changes neck tension, so check relief and string height after the first change.
